Once we have kits available tune ups will be available also.
I saw some questions through out the thread I would like to shed some light on.
Some have noticed the Rotrex units use higher step up numbers than some counter parts. The planetary design of the drive system allows this which is also a reason why the the units are smaller than most have seen. The compressor side of the units are actually turbo castings.
As far as kits we will have complete bolt on kits available for GM trucks, some cars, and even some other car builders. Plus we sell just the supercharger so customers can fab their own kits.
Rotrex suggests using an oil cooler once oil temps reach 177 degrees. Anything below that is not needed and we have yet to see any vehicles in America needing to use one.
I'll see if I can get some pics for you guys. As far as numbers I don't have those yet but will post them as soon as I see them.
Thanks for the intrest guys.

The Koenigsegg CCR uses two Rotrex superchargers...
It does nearly 240 MPH...if the fastest production car in the world uses them I'm sure they're good enough for our trucks.

Kevin will give you a better update later, but here are a couple things we did tonite on our test truck.
The truck is a std cab short box 5.3 automatic. Ran it at the track with 20 inch SS Silverado wheels and tires about 3 weeks ago. Best ET 15.41
Put a rotrex blower with a air to air intercooler in the grille. Max boost is about 8 psi@ 5600rpm. All other parts are still stock. Best ET 13.96
The truck is fun to drive and the blower is very quite even at full throttle.
